yup he’s played with 2 playoff cowards in Simmons & Harden.

The one time he had legit help in Jimmy, Kawhi came along at the buzzer to steal it. That’s not on Embiid, no way. He’d be the best big we’ve had since Ewing. Lakers got their lineage of great bigs… we need ours…

Reed, Ewing, Embiid

Someone said Brown was better than Tatum.

Embiid is exactly the type of player that you go all in for....I do however agree that the deal must still be somewhat reasonable...like preferably a multitude of picks while keeping as many players as possible....Mitch + Randle would go along with 3 unprotected picks and maybe some more....possibly have to toss in IQ as well.

I think you still need a solid supporting cast around....Brunson/Embiid is not better than Booker/Durant....we need better offense...shooters and stuff....not gonna make it without in today's NBA.

I wouldn’t go that far… 18ppg, 9rpg, 2bpg, 35% from 3…. He had Marc Gasol on him and Nick Nurse coaching against him. Plus it was his 2nd full season in the league. Rough from the field, but dude plays both ends.
